Notes:

     October -- with the Nobel Prize, and the Man Booker -- is always the most popular month at the complete review, and once again there was record user interest.
     The most popular titles were an unusual mix, with some quite old standards resurfacing and only a few new titles ranking among the most popular. Not surprisingly, however, the new Herta Müller-page proved very popular.

For recent bestseller lists, go to previous lists.
For annual and older lists, see also the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 lists.
